Jose Antonio Cano has joined the supplier as head of operations for the UK and EU, bringing a wealth of experience in distribution to the role.
From the acquisition of a new warehouse in northern Europe, to overhauling its distribution network to maintain its level of service, Rubies has been making significant investment into the redevelopment of the operations side of the business, with the latest investment being the appointment of Jose.
Jose previously worked at IMC Toys, a former joint venture partner in southern Europe for the business for the past ten years, he held positions including global supply chain and purchase director.
Combining his experience in warehousing, purchasing, logistics and operations in his new role, Jose will manage the day-to-day running of operations and logistics across the UK and EU, while also building on previous growth to increase distribution for Rubies.
Mike O’Connell, managing director, commented: “We welcome Jose at a perfect time for the company. With our recent phenomenal levels of growth in distribution and supply, we need someone who will be able to look after the everyday operational running of a business of this magnitude whilst also continuing to grow our network to new heights and Jose is a perfect fit.”
